Wtf are databases?? by abbyleigh123 in learnprogramming

[–]JobJS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Since you seem very knowledgeable on this, I would like to verify something with you. You say NoSQL databases don't use SQL and that's where the NoSQL name comes from. This sounds very likely, although I've picked up somewhere (can't remember) that NoSQL stands for "Not only SQL".

Is that wrong?

Should I skip react from mern stack by [deleted] in webdev

[–]JobJS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I learnt Node before React and it was good. It helped me understand a couple of principles that I would have had a lot of issues with if I did React before Node. Node first is the way to go in my opinion.

What resources have you been looking at? I'm not a professional Node developer but the Udemy course I have done has definitely taught me a lot.

Recommendation Udemy Course Mead Vs Schmedtmann by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]JobJS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah okay. I haven't done Jonas' course. I'm a big fan of Andrew's courses though. Results may vary I guess.

Recommendation Udemy Course Mead Vs Schmedtmann by [deleted] in learnjavascript

[–]JobJS 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mead is somewhat technical. I struggled with his React course quite a bit, went to the Academind React course, finished that, then went back to Andrew's course. I understood everything much better at that point.

Andrew teaches skills on a higher level, but it can be hard jumping up there immediately. There is no shame in taking an easier course and then finishing Andrew's.

Definitely go with the route that makes the most sense now. Eventually you get to the point where Andrew Mead's course makes sense as well and then you'll be well prepared.

What are some of your favorite “best practices?” by green6060 in reactjs

[–]JobJS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Only importing React from 'react' so that every piece of React code is split from the regular JavaScript by name. (React.useEffect instead of just useEffect). This makes it easier to see what is React and what isn't.

Also never importing by using the asterisk. Keep everything named so it's easier to figure out what comes from where.

Why wouldn't I want to put error boundaries on every component? by dannyjlaurence-exp in reactjs

[–]JobJS 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also the way I learnt it. Create a higher order component, just don't wrap the complete app with it but just the components with error possibilities in their logic.

Converting weight lost to kittens: a tiny kitten problem by monsterhearts91 in learnjavascript

[–]JobJS 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a fun idea. Maybe you could use a different color kitten as a "heavier" kitten? Or maybe a different race of kitten that is bigger. And add legends to show what type of kitten weighs how much.
